"All I can say is that there are issues which I need to take up with my own party leadership and not in a public forum…I will be going to Delhi for Parliament and I will get an opportunity, I believe, to make my concerns very clear to the party leadership and get their viewpoint… have a proper conversation." Speaking to reporters here, the Thiruvananthapuram MP said he had informed the Congress leadership about his inability to attend a party meeting. "However, I will certainly attend all party activities in Parliament, and at that time I can meet the party leadership," he said.

In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, a precision military offensive targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan.
